METHODS, APPARATUS AND MACHINE-READABLE MEDIA RELATING TO CHANNEL ESTIMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240291551 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUS AND MACHINE-READABLE MEDIA RELATING TO CHANNEL ESTIMATION

The patent application describes a method for estimating a radio channel between a base station and a wireless device using beam space processing.

  • The base station has a configurable antenna system for receiving radio transmissions.
  • The method involves detecting wireless energy from the wireless device in multiple beam directions.
  • Historical data on the likelihood that wireless energy in these directions contains channel information is obtained.
  • A subset of beam directions is selected based on the detected wireless energy and historical data.
  • The wireless energy in the selected subset of beam directions is processed to estimate the channel between the base station and the wireless device.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in 5G and future wireless communication systems to improve channel estimation accuracy. - It can enhance beamforming techniques in wireless networks for better signal reception and transmission.

Problems Solved: - Improves the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication by accurately estimating the radio channel. - Enhances the performance of beamforming systems in base stations for optimized signal processing.
